Pad table content top and bottom away from border!

I just cant seem to get my head around this problem, I have a table and I have set a background image for the table.

However the table contents do not fit the image correctly and the content needs to be padded at the top and the bottom away from the borders I have tried the obvious with luck! I wonder if anyone has any ideas?

Hello,
I took a look at the site and i think the primary problem is that the image isnt big enough to fit all the "Credits" (i hope i am lookin at the correct problem area). Anyways here is a small example of what you can do & try out -

Hi Mihir

May thanks for your reply,

I tried what you had suggested but had no luck!

The problem is that the image I have used (the one my client really wants to use) is a scroll as you can see.

The image has been scaled to fit the table 100% so this isn't really the issue, the credits text needs to be padded at the top and the bottom so it fits in the scroll image correctly i.e under (at the top) and above (at the bottom) of the scrolls folded edges, so it appears to be sat on the scroll properly and not overlapping the folded edges.

The ideal solution would be to add a few empty cells at the top and the bottom so as to push the content into place.

However I have several of these tables on many pages and I would really like to be able to style these tables via CSS instead of having to manually manipulate each one separately! (there are loads)
